Apply for the Healthcare Support Worker
Location: Guildford
Job Description:

We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Band 3 Healthcare Support Worker on our inpatient wards. This is a developmental role, open to people with or without previous care experience. What matters most is your compassion, values, and commitment to excellent patient care.

A role for everyone – whether you’re new to care or already experienced

No experience? You’re very welcome.

If you’re new to health or social care, you’ll start at Band 2 while you complete our structured development programme.

From Your First Day, You’ll Receive

  • Full training
  • Support from our clinical educators
  • A clear, achievable pathway to reach Band 3

Once you complete the Band 3 competency framework, you’ll progress into a Band 3 Healthcare Support Worker role.

Already have care experience? You may progress faster.

If you already have Band 3 experience or completed competencies, you may:

  • Move through the development programme more quickly, depending on your evidence and experience.

To be considered for appointment at Band 3, you’ll need to provide:

  • Verified Band 3 Care Certificate competency documents
  • Evidence of relevant acute NHS experience and training
  • Employer/educator confirmation where required

All evidence will be reviewed by our recruitment and practice development teams.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from individuals who are:

  • Passionate about providing safe, compassionate care
  • Eager to learn, grow and develop
  • Great communicators and team players
  • Able to work flexibly in a busy hospital setting

Previous Care Experience Is Helpful But Not Essential.

We care more about who you are than where you’ve worked.

What The Role Involves

As a Healthcare Support Worker, your duties may include:

  • Supporting patients across specialist areas
  • Assisting with personal care, mobility, and nutrition
  • Collecting samples and supporting clinical procedures
  • Monitoring and recording vital signs
  • Assisting with patient treatments
  • Using equipment safely and effectively
  • Responding quickly to patient needs
